Bobby Haney’s National Championship Ring

Every time I am at an event or a book signing I wear my National Championship ring.

The kids absolutely love to see it and hold it. They feel extra awesome when I allow them to wear it and take a picture!

I talk to them about what it was like to win the NCAA Baseball National Championship and share many of the lessons needed to win. It’s important to them to see how much their hard work today can pay off tomorrow. The parents always agree and it helps to motivate and inspire the kids.

The usual reaction when they actually see the ring is overwhelm. I don’t think people expect it to be so big and shiny, but it is and I always hear “Wow!” when I allow them to try it on.

I share my story of how my team at the time, the South Carolina Gamecocks, won the College World Series and then I ask them if they would like to win one of these rings some day.

Of course, they all answer with an enthusiastic “Yes!” and I share some advice on what they need to do to get there.

Working with kids through baseball camps, book signings and the talks that I give internationally makes me feel super because I know that I am doing my part in motivating them towards reaching their own goals and dreams. That is why I wrote From Kings Park to Omaha and why I love to travel doing live events. When I am not playing ball, it’s the next best thing to sharing my passion for baseball, and the kids and parents love it as much as I do!

I’d love to read your comments about winning a ring like mine one day…
